Im 15, no illnesses, not overweight, and I just collapsed in my kitchen??

Question

Hey, i just stood up to go the kitchen and after about 6 feet of walking my head went funny, like it does when you get up too fast, but it got worst so i leant against the door frame, then i needed to lean against a counter so i walked into the kitchen and i couldnt control any of my body and my saliva started to feel like it was frothy. Then i gave way and fell on the floor. Then after a bit i felt fine but just a bruise where i fell. What could of coursed this?

Answer 1

This happened to me also. I dunno why this happens though. I was just standing for a minute or two than I felt short of breath, dizzy and weak I had to lay down for a while and drink some water. It could be that iron or sugar level is down or that you didn't get enough sleep or enough to eat. Other then that if your really worried you should see a doctor; I didn't and it didn't bother me none ever since.

Answer 2

You definitely need to see the doctor.

There are a whole range of conditions that can cause this, some very easily treated, and some quite serious.    

Among them are blood sugar--either low or high, blood pressure,

a seizure disorder, and many more.

Do you have a normal diet, or had you gone without food for too long?

See a doctor.

Answer 3

My girlfriend had an issue with low blood pressure used to get something similar fairly regularly, & collapsed twice years ago... It has got better over the years & now tends to be just a brief dizziness now & again after standing up.

Best bet will be to head to the docs & see what they say, but hopefully it will be something simple like this...

Answer 4

this ain't a question for on here this could be serious so go to the doctors NOW

Answer 5

Honestly best to see a doctor as it could be an indication of a number of things.  

  Other than that, did you eat this morning?  Have you had enough sugar?  I know that when I don't eat properly I get very spinny and want to collapse.  

Answer 6

See a doctor, and get your blood pressure checked.  Could be any number of things; sounds almost like you had a very light seizure.

Answer 7

Answer 9

Go to the doctors  

Answer 10

Sounds like epilepsy or blood pressure. Definite doctor visit time.

Answer 11

There are lots of things that could cause this.  It could be that you have low blood sugar and need to eat.  Or it cold be a  heart problem.  Or a partial seizure or an inner ear problem.  Or maybe none of those things.  You need to get it checked out by your family physician.  He will be able to order labs and listen to your heart and maybe get an MRI and other tests that may need to be checked out.  

Answer 12

It may just be a dizzy spell , but you should go to your doctor and report this and get a quick check over on blood pressure etc

Always better to be safe  

Answer 13

At your age I had this problem almost daily:went to the DR and it turned out that I had extreme low blood pressure.

After puberty it disappeared.Weirdest thing ever.Also fainted from the smell of fresh paint.

Best is to go see your Dr.

Answer 14

Answer 15

My gut reaction is that you ain't eatin right.  And I'm wondering if you get enough exercise also.

Try gettin into a decent healthy diet and making sure you get some serious exercise...then if you still have the problem get to the doctor and see if he can fix you up.

I would eat a pickel then check back in oh say...14 mintues?
